Cole and Goodson, Charged With
Counterfeiting at Anoka, Found
Not Guilty.
The United States jury in the cases of
Frank Cole and George Go0dson, charged
with making counterfeit money at
Anolza, retired about 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, after trial which has
lasted nearly three days. The jury
stayed out about an hour and half and
then returned verdict of not guilty,
and Cole and GoOdsOn were at once dis
charged. 1t seems that although Mar
shall DEM =, according to officers of the
court, found the counterfeiters in lit
tie seven by nine room iii Anoka with
all the paraphernaha of the crooked
profession around them and several de-
fectiye counterfeit dollars lying around
loose, yet the prosecution could not
prove that the prisoners did actually
coin the money. Charley Clark con
,vict in the Saltwater peniten-
tha eg i tesfa f to Rs so agap he
had informed upon them to the officers
and the officers had told him to go
ahead and get in with them, so that at
an appointed time the counterfeiterS
could be caught. Clark went right
along with them as one of the gang.
He set time for the officers to show up,
but they did not show up until day
afterward. Then, according to his
statement, he visited Minneapolis, and
getting ON drunk, he visited a house
of ill-repute. He stayed there all night.
and in the morning he found himself
with somebody elSe'S suit of clothes.
He was arrested for larceny and taken
Immediately before the grand jury, and
but short time elapsed before he found
himself in the penitentiary. That ended
his detective work in the bogus coin
line, and Clark thinks the trap for him
was set by the very counterfeiters he
was endeavOring to get within the
clutches of the law. He says the man
who was the head and front of the
Anoka coin industry was Bert Lysons,
gentleman now running at large in the
land.
TIE DANE-BoRER CASE.
AS soon as the jury went out on the
above case, the well-known Dane-Borer
pension case came up. c. D. O'Brien
appeared for the defense, and the COM
planning witness, j. 3. Randall. of LIE
Sueur, was put upon the stand. Randall
claims that Henry Dane, postmaster at
LIE Sueur, put letter of Randall'S. con-
tanning his pension, into the mail box of
Felix BOrer, pension solicitor, and
that they then tried to fleece him out of
his pension at QuackenboSs' bank. On
the other hand it is claimed that Ran
dali is farmer, of not very clear mind,
and that he owed considerable money to
another party, and the whole scheme in
the pOstoffice was to get him in such
shape that they could compel him to
pay some of his debts.
The Davis and Short counterfeiting
cases are yet to come up in the United
States court, and the Crookston post
office case is one of the most important
OF the dozen cases yet on the calendar.

CIVIL. RIGHTS CASE.
The jury returned verdict Of S25
damages at 10 o'clock last night in the
suit of Henry A. Hazel against Foley
Bros, proprietors of the Clarendon
hotel. Attorney Thompson made an
able defense for the Foley Bros, and
his summing up before the jury was
masterpiece of satire. Henry Johns.
for the plaintiff, tried his case well, and
was very much disappointed at the
result. This is the first civil rights
case that has been tried here, and there
was crowded court room during the
trial. The Foley brothers are very
much surprised that Hazel should have
got any damages at all, and expressed
themselves last night as ready TO ap-
peal the case to the supreme court.
There was abundance of argument TO
endeavor to convince the jury that the
suit of Hazel had more of 4 mercenary
m0tivs than anything else, and the de-
Tense produced enough testimony to
Show that Hazel was refused lodging
accommodations because every room i'm
the hotel had been taken up. The jury
was out five hours, and verdicts all the
way from l cent TO $4,000 were named
in the jury room. Judge Kelly made
very conservative and impartial charge.
